That statistic applies to all marriages and not to first marriages, also iirc it was only for a few years. Divorce rates have been on a generally downward trajectory for quite a while
That makes sense. A lot of bad marriages were only held together by divorce being illegal and they all flew apart at once. Then things have slowed to a more natural base rate
There’s also a lot less pressure to marry early or at all. Like, I’m married because I love my wife and wanted to marry her. Had I been pressured to marry younger I probably wouldn’t’ve met her and may have resented being pressured in before I was ready.
all marriages would include first marraiges, what you’re trying to say is that people who divorce, are more likely to divorce more than once, several times even. Which disproportionately pushes up the divorce rate.
Now would be a good time to pull stats for first marriage divorce if there are any good ones.
Hopefully you have the same luck after your first divorce.
Bruh why would you wish something like that on someone
Not a wish, just statistics. You have a higher chance of getting divorced than staying together.
That is absolutely not true, it’s just made up pop statistics spread by misanthropes that misses the nuances of the data

Lots of people married right put of high school so they could bang and now they’re stuck together. Still happens in really religious communities
